135 – Demonic Sword (2)

The sky is filled with dark clouds and raging flames shoot through the surrounding dark rocks at the beginning of Area 4, Death Valley.

When I first came to Mystic Island, I couldn’t even appreciate it, and it was the inside of the island that was wrapped in a veil.

And the princess, Melissa de Prominence, was immersed in anxious thoughts as she looked right in front of Kaeran’s back.

‘Something is strange… ‘

It’s only been the 2nd day of the exam, but we’ve already reached District 4.

The reason for this unstoppable progress was simple.

Since coming this far, I haven’t had a single battle with monsters.

Of course, there was no meeting with the other cadets.

‘There’s no way the academy intended this… ‘

As Malissa, who guessed that her situation was not serious, continued to show her uneasiness, her blonde knight, Abelin Balantes, asked her.

“Why? Ball Melissa.”

“That… I mean. Isn’t there something wrong with the screening test itself?”

– Stand tall.

-!

At that word, Kaeran’s steps, which had never stopped, stopped.

“What do you mean? Melissa?”

“… “

He looked back for the first time today and smiled.

It was a little creepy for Melissa, but also oddly reassuring.

“We’ve come this far, but we haven’t seen any cadets or monsters… ? Kaeran probably knows, but the evaluation score goes up only when you fight… “

“Well, I guess. But didn’t you say that extra points are given to the party that arrives at the Valley of Death first?”

“Yes, but… “

“Well, Melissa is more worried than she seems? Actually, I can detect demons. That’s why I only came on the road to avoid a fight as much as possible.”

“Oh, as expected, Lord Kaeran!”

“Well, I spoke a little harshly yesterday… Anyway, I think it went smoothly because you two followed me well?”

“Dr Kaeran… “

Malissa also smiled lightly at Kaeran’s sudden praise, but it was not easy to shake off her fearful feelings.

-Kick. Gigg.

This area gave off a very gloomy atmosphere, as if a part of Pandaemonium had been removed.

“Shall we take a break here?”

“Yes.”

“Ah, that must have been difficult. Did you like Miss Mali? It has less baggage.”

“… What is it Instead, I use enchantment magic… !”

Kaeran murmured to himself as he watched the two women perched on a rock for a moment to catch their breath.

‘These are really annoying bitches… ‘

Soon anyway, these two will become demons.

To be precise, there are two options. Either get killed by yourself or become a demon.

‘Well, the dishes themselves aren’t bad bitches.’

Within the empire, they are the offspring of a family with a fairly good standing, and if you make them your own, there will be a big infighting on the human side.

So… Now is the time to be patient and caressing them a little more in order to clear their doubts.

Kaeran said as he handed them a bottle of water.

“Aren’t all three of us supposed to get high grades on this exam? Right?”

“Yes. I can’t collapse like this even for the sake of the principality.”

“Small people are like that too. I had to listen to the verbal abuse from the father of the house owner… I can’t cause any more trouble to my brothers!”

“So let’s all do our best.”

“That’s right, I have to work hard… !”

“Okay!”

‘Kick. Silly bitches.’

Too easy to handle.

When people are preoccupied with one goal, they cannot see their surroundings.

Kaeran put a hand on Aveline’s shoulder and looked down at her.

“Come to think of it, Aveline, I have a favor for you too.”

“What is it?”

“Remember? The contract I made to Malissa yesterday… “

It was then.

– An iron spatula. Iron spatula.

In this dark place, one of the academy’s guardians and Violet, the head of the gunnery department, appeared, who made the sound of heavy armor whenever they moved.

“You… How did you get here?”

“… “

“Miss Violet!”

A look of relief came over Malissa’s face.

Kaeran simply kept quiet, and the tall male Guardian spoke to him in a low tone.

“Unfortunately, the current screening test has been suspended. We intend to wait here until new communication comes from the academy, so please cooperate.”

“Yes? The test stopped… Is it?”

“Dr Kaeran… ?”

For a moment, Malissa and Aveline looked in Kaeran’s direction.

“… “

When everyone’s eyes crossed, there was no red-haired man.

-Whee Oh!

-!

Instead, a black whirlwind started blowing out of nowhere.

“What, what!”

“?!”

– Boom.

It was an abnormal phenomenon that happened all too quickly.

-?

Eventually, when everything returned to its original state,

“What bullshit are you talking about?”

“Ugh… ah… eww….”

– Puffed up.

As soon as Kaeran finished speaking, the guardian man’s head fell off.

* * *

Now, the black magic that bloomed after Cerberus fell has not completely dissipated.

I reunited with Lilith after a long time.

Lilith La Rochelle.

She is the villain in the beginning of ,

The culprit who tried to turn me into rags through the elixir of the devil’s whisper.

‘The reason for the existence of a third-class villain named Lev Denek.’

According to the setting, it existed for the awakening of Edwin’s Enforcer.

Of course, thanks to her, I was able to grow quickly by defeating Andras and accepting his power.

‘Lilith… ‘

In fact, according to the story of , Lilith has continuously benefited from behind-the-scenes deals through the student council, but Edwin catches her tail and exposes her corruption.

Afterwards, she was expelled from school and her tail was cut off by Kaeran, and she became physically and mentally weak.

She mind-controls Arya with her vengeance towards Edwin, where she is once again taught by Edwin.

And just as Lilith is about to give up her life, thinking that she has lost everything, Edwin holds out her hand to her.

In this very episode, Lilith is inspired by Edwin, and she forges her holy sword for him.

A helper character who started out as a villain, but helps Edwin in the end.

‘If it were the way it was, this would be correct, but… ‘

After I intervened, the story changed a bit.

She used mind control on me, which should have been used on Arya.

I used this to eat Ordeal 2 raw.

In other words, the link with Edwin had completely disappeared.

.

.

.

“Tell me.”

Her time is urgent and she has a long way to go, so I only asked her for her business.

Lilith smiled and put her finger to her lips.

“Um~, actually, I have nothing to say to her junior… “

“?”

Then he pointed behind me and said.

“You want to talk to that child?”

“… !”

What she pointed at was Arya, not me.

She said, ‘I thought you’d get mad at me for being tricked.’

This situation is unexpected.

The reason she was obsessed with me until now is because she knew me as a demon.

Therefore, when he saw that I had killed Cerberus, a fellow demon, he doubted this and thought that he had come to reveal it.

Knowing the love affair between Aria and Lilith, I secretly offered her another proposal.

“Do it to me? There are many things you want to ask, right?”

“Well… What? I only suggested it because I thought that virgin junior would have something to ask about me.”

“… “

I didn’t say anything, but Lilith nodded her head and continued her words.

“Okay. If you don’t want to hear anything, I’ll step back… “

“… I will listen.”

“… !”

At that time, it was Arya who appeared between the two of us.

* * *

Arya remembers her relationship with Lev Denek and Lilith La Rochelle.

At first, she was the student council president, he was a temporary member of the student council,

After Lev lost the duel with Edwin, the student council expelled him, and the relationship between the two seemed to be over.

After that, I can’t forget even if I want to.

Lev Denek, who was originally a rabble, became a half-maniac, and he lashed out at the girls before finally confessing to Malissa and himself.

However, it was after that confession that the situation changed.

Lilith, who was in the position of A, suddenly appeared to Lev,

-So save me… Make me a demon… Give it

She started making outrageous things about him,

– Jjaaak!

-Calm down, man.

Lev responded by slapping him on the ear, telling him to come to his senses.

This was all Arya saw.

‘But why me… ?’

Clearly, her only memory of talking to Lilith was Lev Deneck answering her question about whether this was the classroom.

.

.

.

“Do you think this will be enough?”

Lilith brought Arya some distance away from her group.

The cadets who did not escape are silently packing their belongings.

It was like an exhibition situation.

“… You say you have something to say to me?”

“You don’t have to be so vigilant. Junior.”

Lilith smiled and whispered.

“Do you believe in Lev Deneck?”

“… “

Of course, if you ask me if I believe in the current situation, it is ambiguous.

If you fully trust him, he won’t need to cast a surveillance spell.

Besides, this woman doesn’t feel good for some reason.

Arya pondered over her answer and then moderated it.

“Okay. I don’t think I’m obliged to answer.”

“What? I’m surprised I thought that if it was a cute junior, of course he would believe in Lev… “

“Me and Lev are at the same party. I think this would have been a sufficient answer.”

“It’s chilly~.”

“If you are someone else, I will refuse… “

Lilith turned round and round in front of Aria, and she said a word.

“Right. It’s epileptic.”

“Yes?”

“Don’t fully trust him.”

“… “

“I was tricked.”

“Dear Lev… You were tricked?”

“Yeah, I thought he was definitely a demon who would take me back… “

Lilith hugged herself with both of her hands and let out a hot breath, then put on a serious expression.

“I mean… Kaeran Heath… I regret not choosing.”

“… “

It is no longer surprising that Lev Deneck is suspected of being a demon.

Selena was also conscious of that and warned Aria.

Arya, deciding that she no longer needed to talk, turned to her.

“If you have said everything, I will excuse you first.”

“Wait… !”

Lilith called to her fast-moving aria and held out something of hers from her arms.

“So, I’ll give this to you.”

“…?”

What she handed over was none other than a small dagger.

That, too, is a dagger that is slightly curved like a black feather.

Although it did not have a flashy appearance, it did not look ordinary at all even to those who were unfamiliar with swords.

It is a pitch-black dagger that exudes a beautiful black aura, and is careful not to touch it carelessly.

Arya frowned slightly and asked Lilith.

“I am a priest. This kind of blade… “

“It will definitely come in handy.”

“… I don’t know what you mean.”

For a moment, Lilith thought as she clicked her tongue.

It’s all for her, her, and her, so why does it bounce like this?

First of all, Lilith thought, Lev Deneck.

I saw it in the previous battle… He has become so strong

He wants to take revenge on himself for cheating right now, but he can’t.

But, this cute girl doesn’t know.

Aria Bluebell. She’s the only one in the party who doesn’t fully trust Lev Denek.

‘Lev’s junior also interfered with my plan… So instead of me, you kill him.’

Looking at Arya, who still had a puzzled look on her face, Lilith brought out one thing she noticed.

“Cute junior. Didn’t you cast a surveillance spell on Lev?”

“!”

Arya’s eyes shook at the moment she saw through.

It was a coincidence that Lilith noticed this.

She wouldn’t have noticed if it weren’t for her search scrolls sneaked up on by Heisman’s idiot and her own keen sense of magic.

– Tup.

Without missing that moment, Lilith put the dagger in her hand.

“I hope I don’t have to write as you said.”

“… “

– Senior Lilith! We’ll be back soon too!

Dylan’s voice was heard in the distance, and she softly recited the aria.

“If you completely trust him.”

Leaving behind her words, Lilith turned her steps lightly as if making a turn.
